    It's a new : By a vote of 5-4, Court grants requests by Catholic diocese & synagogues in NYC to lift COVID-related attendance limits on houses of worship. Justices had turned down similar requests last summer, while Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg was still on the Court.

    Shortly after releasing the calendar for the January argument session, announces that the arguments will be held remotely b/c of COVID-19. Live audio will again be made available to the public via a media pool.

    releases January argument calendar and it's . . . light, with only 5 hours of argument over 4 days. No arguments on Jan. 18 or Jan. 20 b/c of MLK Day & inauguration.

    The Supreme Court has finally acted on those Pennsylvania ballots that arrived after Election Day ... but only to give Democrats a requested 5 extra days to file an opposition brief in one case. Not much left to the dispute after today's PA certification.

    They have *probably* been held over for reconsideration at next week's conference, but we don't know for sure yet. has a general practice of not granting review until the justices have considered a case at two conferences.

    just released the hearing list for the December sitting, which starts next Monday. As noted, only 3 women will argue, and she is the only one from private practice. State SGs Barbara Underwood (NY) & Elizabeth Murrill (LA) will also argue.

    The next SCOTUS sitting will include only 3 women out of 27 advocates. For the second month in a row, 0 women from the SG's office. We will hear from 5 of the 6 men who lead the office. It is time to diversify the SCOTUS bar.
